WE3 - S​/​T (May 24, 2021 Aut Records)

Inspired by the shamanic music of The Trio (John Surman, Barre Phillips, Stu Martin), WE3 have developed a repertoire of magmatic and powerful original compositions and renditions. The sounds explored are rough, volcanic, full of energy. The dialog between horns, violone, and drums are uninterrupted, with a flow that threatens to overwhelm, while embracing and surrounding a listener with a lava-like heat.
